In the latest Chuck Chats! interview, I talk with Rocky Walls, CEO of 12 Stars Media. I've known Rocky for years and it's been nothing short of amazing to see how he's grown his personal brand and 12 Stars Media into thoughtful voices in internal communication.

Here are some of my favorite takeaways from Rocky's chat...

"I think a huge problem in any communication is that we’re not concise enough, we don’t prioritize, and perhaps related, we don’t stop and listen. I think if communicators could carefully focus their efforts on just the communication, that’s going to make the biggest differences, the results would speak for themselves."

When asked about nurturing creativity...

“The challenge for us, as leaders, is to help our team balance their humility with the confidence they need to do that great work.”

Rocky talking about communication events....

When I talk to communicators, and as one myself in many ways, the most valuable aspects of attending events like these include: getting new ideas from peers and networking. If I could change current corporate communication events, then, I would facilitate even more of the types of things that foster these.
